Burke and Wills Dig Tree

Cunnamulla to Thargomindah

Longreach, Queensland

If you're looking for some rest and relaxation, dip into the mineral-rich artesian mud baths in Eulo. A detour to Yowah is worth its weight in opals. This friendly town is the home of many a fossicking site where visitors and long-time opal miners alike can strike it lucky. Upon reaching 'Thargo', head to the Bulloo River Hotel for a cold drink and a well-deserved pub meal. The town was the third in the world to harness the power of artesian water to provide the town's electricity in the late 1800s. Amble along the Bulloo River Walk, discover the treasures of Leahy Historic House and shop for Bulloo Built souvenirs crafted from weathered timbers reclaimed from surrounding stations before heading for the remote and historic Innamincka, just over the South Australian Border. Detour to the Dig Tree at the site of the infamous Burke and Wills' final camp to learn about the heroic explorers' catastrophic demise. Finally, stop to view the Aboriginal rock carvings at Cullyamurra Waterhole on the Cooper Creek.
